Organized by therapeutic class, Nursing2010 Drug Handbook provides quick access to current, accurate information on over 900 generic and 3,000 brand-name drugs, emphasizes nursing aspects of drugs without trying to replace detailed pharmacology texts. The unique design makes the content readily accessible and applicable in any clinical setting. It also emphasizes safety to help you avoid medication errors.
The monographs are consistently formatted for ease of use, and they focus on the practical information that practicing nurses need. Each monograph consists of generic and trade names, pronunciation key, pregnancy risk category, pharmacologic class, controlled substance schedule (if applicable), available forms, indications and dosages, administration (with drug incompatibilities for I.V. drugs), action (including tables showing route, onset, peak, duration, and half-life), adverse reactions, interactions, effects on lab test results, contraindications, nursing considerations, and patient teaching. This latest update is based on the 2010 print edition with additional features, enhanced functionality and ongoing updates!
